Bag Change Indicator (on selected models only)

Some models feature a Bag Change Indicator to remind you to change the bag. The
indicator on the bag cover moves into the window as the airflow through the bag
decreases. Certain types of fine particles like powder, plaster dust, or fine road dust can
restrict airflow very quickly. The fine particles will decrease performance even before
the bag appears to be full. Change the dust bag to restore maximum performance.

Be sure to use GENUINE EUREKA Style AA Filteraire bags for best performance. If a
clean dust bag does not restore maximum performance, check for obstructions in the
hose or airflow passage.

How to Replace and Maintain Disposable Dust Bag and Filters — Style AA Filteraire

The disposable dust bag plays a very important role in the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the paper bag is
to trap dirt. As the bag traps dirt, it must also be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes
clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place, regardless of how powerful the unit. Change
the dust bag and check the filters frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance
even before the bag appears to be full.

When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag and filters may
require more frequent maintenance.

NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before changing dust bag. Never operate the vacuum

cleaner without the dust bag and the filters in place.

NOTE: Style AA Filteraire bags must be used to maintain HEPA grade filtration and prolong the life of the HEPA

filter on cleaners featuring HEPA filtration.
